Tmax-27B terminal agent released, optimized for consumer GPUs

A new terminal agent model named Tmax-27B has been released, built upon Qwen3.6-27B and trained using DPPO for reinforcement learning. This model achieves competitive scores on agentic benchmarks like Terminal Bench 2.0. To make Tmax-27B accessible on consumer hardware, a variety of quantized GGUF versions have been created, ranging from 2 to 5 bits per weight, incorporating a speculative decoding head for improved performance. AI

IMPACT Provides a more accessible version of a capable terminal agent for researchers and developers with limited hardware.
